Iran arrests 30 people suspected of spying for US
Originally posted by Illusionsaregrander
The US has been case building for war with Iran for a long time. This is just another brick in the path to war. On its own, it has little significance.

The US and Israel are begging for a war with Iran and I'm afraid they will get their wish. If Iran refuses to free these 30 so called spies, the US won't be happy and then BOOM - the next day we see airstrikes on Tehran by NATO claiming its for freeing the people of Iran and try to make it look like a big Humanitarian Crisis.edit on 21-5-2011 by CasiusIgnoranze because: (no reason given)

The U.S. would not go to war over 30 spies. they will deny that these spies have ties to the U.S.[
In a statement read on state TV, Iran's secret service said its agents uncovered activities of a CIA-run espionage network that sought to recruit Iranian spies through U.S. diplomatic missions that include the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Turkey. The report didn't provide further details, but claimed the recruits had been asked to spy on Iran's research institutes, universities, nuclear programs and other sites. Iranian authorities occasionally announce the arrest of people with alleged ties to foreign intelligence agencies, particularly the U.S., Britain and Israel. There was no immediate comment by Washington.

Everyone is picking this up now.
I'm still yet to hear an official response from the US or an actual news (TV) comment on it..

Two defectors from Iran’s intelligence service have testified that Iranian officials had “foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks,” according to a court filing Thursday in a federal lawsuit in Manhattan that seeks damages for Iran’s “direct support for, and sponsorship of, the most deadly act of terrorism in American history.”
One of the defectors also claimed that Iran was involved in planning the attacks, the filing said. The defectors’ identities and testimony were not revealed in the filing but were being submitted to a judge under seal, said lawyers who brought the original suit against Iran on behalf of families of dozens of 9/11 victims.
